Scottish Trades Union Congress

Scotland’s public services are already stretched with a workforce 10% lower than 15 years ago. Real reform means investing in decent public services. Listen to STUC Deputy General Secretary Dave Moxham on Go Radio's Politics Show, broadcast on 24 May 2026

Hear more from STUC Deputy General Secretary @davemoxham.bsky.social on BBC Radio Scotland this morning. #STUC26

People are sick of failed Tory politicians cosplaying as working-class champions. Reform’s manifesto is fantasy economics that cuts taxes for the rich whilst killing our public services. They look out for the wealthy – we look out for the workers @RozFoyer/@ScotlandTonight

"We need to see really urgent radical action, because every single cut made, every promise broken, every opportunity to act that's been missed, kills off people's hope and trust in our very politics." - Roz Foyer addresses the COSLA Spring Conference

To achieve a just transition, workers and their communities must be at the heart of it. Watch @davemoxham.bsky.social on STV Scotland Tonight call for further progress to involve communities in the process 👇

New research from #TaxJusticeScotland shows that five times as many Scots support urgent Council Tax reform as oppose it. If we want to fund local government properly, we must start by scrapping the regressive council tax @rozfoyer.bsky.social / BBC Radio Scotland

Local Government is becoming "financially unsustainable" according to a new report from the Accounts Commission. The time for excuses is over. Politicians must commit to scrapping council tax and properly funding our public services. @rozfoyer.bsky.social

Hear from our Just Transition Officer, Ryan Morrison, when he spoke at the Economy and Fair Work Committee on the Scottish Government's climate plans and the need for better planning to: 1️⃣ Protect existing jobs 2️⃣ Capture new opportunities

Scotland's public sector is crying out for innovation and investment, not job cuts. @rozfoyer.bsky.social on BBC Radio Scotland Drivetime 👇

Yesterday's Scottish Budget featured too much election year virtue signalling, and not enough tangible change for ordinary working people. STUC General Secretary @rozfoyer.bsky.social on STV's Scotland Tonight 👇

Solidarity with @unitetheunion.bsky.social hospitality members as they begin their historic strike at Vue Cinema in St Enochs in Glasgow. Workers are striking for 3 basic demands: 1) A Living Wage 2) Safe travel home at night 3) Union recognition

Solidarity from Deputy General Secretary @lindasomerville.bsky.social to @unitetheunion.bsky.social members at Diligenta. Over 1000 members across the country taking strike action to oppose cuts to their pay is inspirational. Scotland's trade union movement stands with them.
